Critical FEMA Memos
Jackson Clarion-Ledger
Memos: FEMA hindered by internal chaos
E-mails are part of House panel's investigation into slow storm response
The Associated Press
Even though I have no particular admiration for this administration or Homeland Security, it is a bad idea to allow the hapless Michael Brown take the fall for the whole Katrina mess. His e-mails show a glimmer of recognition of how bad the storm is going to be. It is also worth noting that the federal government was completely overwhelmed, so it is rather out of place to put it all on a female governor who happens to be a Democrat. This is a good feature.
